Some extra exercises to get ready for lecture

We will start Monday's lecture with Chapter 3 exercises 20 and 24 from pp. 54-55. So if you want solid footing, work them out on your own ahead of time, and then what I add will really strengthen your understanding. Then we will do some CPS together, followed by chapter 4 concepts: how does the geometric relationship of the net force relative to the velocity affect the overall motion.

Q: What did the acorn say when it grew up?
A: Geometry. Gee, I'm a tree!
